INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

We recently referred to the significance
of the fact that delegation of British leg
islators had waited upon the President Of
the United States in the interests of a pol
icy of arbitration to be based upon an arbi-
tration treaty. As the matter is more dis
cussed the great Importance of this visit
becomes apparent. Everywhere in this
country the press is voicing the sentiment
of the people as in favor of such policy.
This new effort is far in advance of the
labors of the Peace Society, because it is
practical and has basis of business sense
that is easily understood. 1t does not
assail war in the abstract, but simply adj
vances the idea that there is no reason and
should never be cause for the two great
English-speaking nations of the globe

coast. The remedy is simple, but spe-
cifc. Nowhere, as y-t, has it been estab-
lished-not even in New York-that the
vicious ard corruptible element outnum-
beis the self-respecting-the class de-
sirous of reform. II, therefore, the latter
will cease to neglect political duty, will or
game as thoroughly as do the bosses, be
as loyal in action to their cause as are the
hirelings on the other side, every corrup-
zionist can be swept aside and decency in
stalled.
This is not utopian, difficult or unlikely.
We are OF those who believe that the
scheme Of self-government is not to fail;
that venaiity and corruption are not for
ever to dominate; that there viii be an
end presently to inciyism, and return to
duty-doing in the caucus, at the primary
and in the ward club. We believe that it
is in the inevitable natural order of things
that right and decency will come to the
front benches, and the "rounder," the
rough, the "lamb" and the ward manipu-
lator be put against the wall.
The good citizen will be compelled, by
the law of self-preservation, to take hold
upon the horns of government and control
it. SeIf-interest will forbid him suffering
political enslavement. The agitations of
the present, the boldness of the corrup-
tionists, the arrogance of bosses, the preya-
lence of venality, will assuredly bring
about reform as political and social ne
cessity. In any other view of the ques-
ton the overthrow Of republican
institutions confronts US. To that the
nation has not, and viii not come. While
it is undeniable that the most prolific
source of our troubles is political and
official venality, the national heart is so
true to the purpose of free government that
its beat viii not be stilled by political
corruption.
The people will arrive presently at the
point where they will in new, but I'M
written declaration of independence, de-
clare that the scope and extent of their
political privilege is not simply to indorse,
and sustain, and follow at the beck and
call of political rings and ring-masters
When a people begin to distrust they
begin to reform. When adherence sets
in repulsion follows, inevitably Men
with self-respect and genuine sensibility
outnumber the vicious and the purchasable
cattle of the political masters, and they
will make their strength known and felt,
as they have in the past.
A profound writer once CURLY said:
." Bread and butter are .vigilant, and poll
tics to the politician is bread and butter"
So it is, but self-preseryation is dictate of
nature, and party organization will not
forever yield itself to the corrupt, since
this dictate will prevent it. Office will
be taken out of the hands of the self
seeking and venal political power will be
stripped from the men who make politics
business of barter and sale, and free in
situations will rise superior to the assaults
of the yenal and the conspiracies of the
corrupt. Either these things must be, or
national decadence will end in national
overthrow, and that the destiny Of free
institutions forbids.

CHICAGO is the recipient of barrels of sym patty
from the St. Louis press on account of the failure
of that military encampment. When st. Louis
does get chance to pity Chicago she pities her
hard.-Minneapolis Tribune.
But Chicago has done one thing that
may well make st. Louis turn green with
envy. She has tried, condemned and ex-
ecuted crowd of murderers, who sought
to shield crime behind political doctrine,
and she has done this without resort to
military arms, without loss of life to inno-
cent people and without breaches of the
public peace. Chicago may have failed with
her military encampment, but she has a
proud record as defender of liberation
and the law.

going to war with each other. An East

going to war with each other. An East
ern contemporary has thus expressed what
we believe is the prevailing sentiment of
the American people on the Atlantic side:
" The era of universal peace may still be
long way off, but the era of international
arbitration is visibly drawing nigh. And
it is from the Peace Society that the idea Of
such arbitration originated This country
has been prompt to avail itself of interna-
tional arbitration as becomes people who
have no desire for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT a: the
expense of others, and no interest in war
save for sei-protection. The international
arbitration by which the Alabama claims
were adjusted was, on the whole, satisfac-
tory, and though the deciding vote of the
Belgian Minister did less than Justice to us
in the fisheries dispute, yet the nation ac-
cepted the result as better than war. And
even in Europe references of disputes to
international congresses are becoming the
rule. There are signs of a not distant time
when war must be made the very last
court of appeal. War is becoming an in
creasingly costly undertaking. Austria
has not yet recovered from Sadowa, nor
France from Gravelotte; even the vast re-
sources Of the United States have not yet
been sufficient to obliterate the cost of its
first, and it is to be hoped its last, great
war"
The subject will probably be brought to
the attention Of Congress by the President,
and 1t is to be hoped that he will give the
weight of his opinion in favor of such a
treaty as is proposed. The Englishmen
who came to this country to urge it, are
plain, practical men, not theorists, not
philosophers in political science. They
are neither great lights nor small ones, but
represent fairly the thought of the middle
class Of Great Britain, which is strongly in
favor of an agreement by convention, that
all disagreement between their country
and ours shall be settled by arbitration.

THERE is good reason to believe that
the American amusement-supporting pub
lie has gone about as far Us it ever will in
playing second to the greed of operatic
and theatrical managers. In recent months
attempts to extort outrageous prices to see
famous or notorious actors, or hear. great
singers, have been failures. The public
has arrived at the conclusion that there is
no need for feeling these people so highly,
and most of their late auction sales of seats
have been poorly attended, and bidding
has been low and mainly confneds ITO spec
ulators. The practice of high bidding for,
first seats practically began with RafpJqinii,
when he introduced Jenny Lind to the
American public, and Genin, The hatter, !,
was the first to advertise his business in:
the notoriety to be gained .sby buy
ing choice seats at high figurefo the
first concert by the Swedish Nightingale.
The craze grew in proportions until the!
advent of Irving, but since then has very
perceptibly declined. The effort to "boomp
seat sales for Mrs. james Brown Potter's
dramatic entertainment in New1Tor Is
the most recent failure. 1t fell fiat, not
because the people do not desire to see and
hear the woman upon the stage, but be-
cause public Judgment has arrived at the
conclusion that this method of raising the
wind for actresses and stage notables is I'M
necessary, extortionate and unfair. They
are not disposed much longer, if we read
the indications of public thought Alright,
to submit to being overcharged for an
evenings entertainment. Boxes will sell
at high rates, few rows, on great occa
sions, at an advance, but the exactions of
managers and the chicane of spectators
has brought auction sales of seats into dis
repute, and the public is to be congratu-
lated that it is so.

FIRES AND METEoRs-The remarkable
possibility that mysterious fires may have
been set by sparks from other worlds than
our own has been suggested to the Paris
Academy of Sciences by Mons. Oh. V.
Zenger. From study of statistics for
several years, he learns that fires of I'M
known origin in woods, farnl-steads, barns,
mills, and even in villages and large towns
are extremely often coincident with the
periodical showers of shooting stars. He
points out that during the first eighteen
days of last August violent storms, rich
meteoric displays and confagrations were
of frequent occurrence.

THERE is no warrant for the charge that
the people of San Francisco are prejudiced
against r. F. Morrow, the alleged jury
briber, and that he cannot receive fair
trial in that city. 1t is city of upwards
of 100000 inhabitants. From such popu-
lation there can be drawn hundreds of i'm
partial juries. Not all men, nor nearly so
many men as pessimists would have us be-
lieve, are 70 be bought for price, or are

THE Supervisors Of this county are pro-
ceeding in right direction. They admit
service of notice by the Grand Jury that
there has been exceeding carelessness, to
put it no stronger, in making jury lists.
They have now resolved that in the
future in making jury lists the names must
be spread ON the minutes, and that new
jury-list box shall be procured for the
greater security of the drawn ballots.
This is good as far as it goes. But let
the Supervisors each personally, and the
Board as whole, resolve:
To put no man upon the Jury list who
solicits the appointment
To report no name asked for by any per-
son.
To put no man upon the list who has
for successive terms served as talesman.
To repeat no name upon the list so long
as there remain qualified citizen and nom
exempts in the Supervisor Districts, who
have not been called upon to serve.
To refuse to cheaper the list by putting
upon it the names of exempt firemen, pub
lie officers and men VIGOROUSLY exempt.
To lock the drawn names in box so
sealed and marked and protected that it
will be impossible to open it without the
fact being disclosed.
To exclude from the jury lists utterly
the names of men who have become motor
ious as professional and ever-ready jury
men-ready to turn an honest penny by
serving their country in the jury-box at 81
per day.
These revolutions viii be decided steps
in advance, and fittingly supplement the
orders of the Board referred to.

AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION.
Inc Southern Pacific's Contract With the


-Nchoud Odttlemens
The Southern Pacific Company has
granted concession to the cattlemen of
Nevada which is of considerable import
ance. The beef supply of this market
comes to great extent from that State.
Last year l, 700 carloads of cattle were ship
ped here from the sagebrush State. With
the cattlemen the great question is how to
MAINTAIN the stock in good condition after
the fall shipments SO that they can con-
stantly supply the market during the
winter time. If the stock We're to be kept
on the ranges during the winter months
they would not be fit for sale until long
alter the opening of spring. Consequently
some means had TO be devised to place the
stock in locality where plenty of food
could be obtained instead of sending them
to market before the approach of winter.
Around Keno, New, the cattlemen find that
the stock can be kept in good condition for
Shipment at any time during the winter
months, and they requested The Southern
Pacific to adjust its transportation of their
stock from the free ranges on the noun
talns to this city in such way that a por-
ton OF the shipments could be left over at
Reno for several months.
General Manager A. n. Towne, after cor
slderlng the matter, agreed TO incorporate
the following provision into the cattle
shippers contract, which was found ac-
ceptable: g Cattle shipped from points in
Nevada, east of Reno, to San Francisco or
other destinations in California, may, dur
ing the period from October 18th of each
year to April 18th of the next year, at the
request OF the shipper. be stopped in transit
at Reno, in the State of Nevada, provided
that the through rate from the point of
shipment to the point of final destination
be prepaid or paid at Reno upon such stop
page, it being understood and agreed that
such stoppage shall be for the purpose only
of feeding and taking care of such cattle,
and that the shippers thereof shall and
will ship the same cattle and no other from
Reno to their destination not later than the
18th of April next ensuing, and that upon
such reshipment the shipper shall pay to
the Southern Pacific Company the further
sum of SIS for each and every carload of
such cattle so shipped to defray the addi-
tional expense thereby caused rs. r. En-

AN IMPORTANT REPORT.

We have received an extra of "The
Medical News" containing a report of the
committee of the College of Physicians of
Philadelphia, on the efficacy of quaran-
tine to exclude cholera. 1t is document
of paramount Importance, but too long for
reproduction in these columns, and requir-
ing closer examination than we have as
yet been able to give it. 1t may be now
said, however, that the committee exam
ined thoroughly into the quarantine
grounds at New York and came to the
conclusion that the methods taken to ex-
clude the cholera in New York harbor
are Inadequate and that the quarantine
establishments at Philadelphia and Balti-
more fail in the most essential requisites
for isolating the quarantined. A most sig
nifcant recommendation of the committee
is as follows:
In our opinion, it is necessary that the per-
sonal effects of Italian immigrants directly fsom
the infected ports shall be, in all cases, thor
oughly disinfected before they are permitted to
land, whether the word cholera makes its ap-
pearance in the ships log and the sanitary rec
ord OF the voyage or not. 1t is a well-known
fact established by numerous instances, that
even when immigrants from an infected local
lty have themselves remained free from disease
during the voyage, their baggage, packed be-
fore starting, has been the conveyer of the in
lection to their point of destination. The pas
sengers of the steamship independents, most
of whom were shipped directly from the in
fected port of Palermo, although it is stated
that during the voyage no case of cholera de-
veloped, come under this category. The recent
action of the Surgeon-General of the Marine
Hospital Service, and the alarm of the health
authorities of the cities of Chicago and st. Louis
seem therefore, not without some just founda
ton"
The independents, it will be remem-
bered, was detained at the New York
quarantine but twenty-four hours. The
committee declares that grave dangers ex-
ist of the introduction of cholera, and
that there is need for interference by the
Federal Government.

of San Francisco have read of the charge
against Robert F. Morrow Of jury bribery,
that they are therefore incapable of fairly
weighing the testimony for and against him,
and rendering an honest verdict, is absurd.
There is broad distinction between being
biased against crime and prejudiced against
him at whose door it is laid Mr. Morrow
wants to be tried in some other county of
the State. If he succeeds, he will find the
people of the interior no less prejudiced
against jury bribing than in San Francisco.
We have no idea that Mr.. Morrow will be
convicted; the evidence required by our
procedure of law will probably not be
forthcoming; but that the people of San
Francisco are SO embittered against hina
that they will not do him justice is not
warranted by any manifestation, or by
anything that occurred in the recent trial,
or that has been published by the press.
As the San Francisco Call we'll saws:
The law presumes that every one is prejudiced
against murder, rape, arson, burglary and Jury
bribing. II that prejudice entitled the accused
! TO demand q change of venue no criminal
would ever be brought to trial in the place
where the crime was committed DR.. Bowers
might have asked for change of Venue en- the
ground that people were prejudiced against
wife-poisoning, and when the murderer of BEN
hayon is found he may ask for change of venue
on the ground that in this community there is a
general prejudice against murder.

The number of inquiries that are being
made every day in the rooms of the State
Board of Trade by persons from the other
side of the continent, with view to max
ing permanent homes in California, or of
sojourni1g here until spring opens, indi-
Gates an increasing anxiety to escape from
the asperities of the Eastern winters
Among yesterdays visitors at the rooms
was party of forty-eight persons Just ar
rived from Western Pennsylvania. They
were astonished at the county exhibits, and
were especially delighted with the signifi-
canoe of the lovely flowers they saw, which
are grown here in the open air while people
in the East are shiyering around red-hot
stoves.
The party say they have come to stay,
and will Immediately seek settlement in
the counties north of the bay They say
also that on the Goth of this month 1,500
mere will leave Pennsylvania for Califor-
mia to remain here, having already disposed
of all their Eastern possessions. Pennsyl-
vania railroad men say that it looks as if
there is going to be general exodus from

William Collins of Musing Ontario, has

The prospect is that immigration from
